Seen and Unseen

The Shape of What Remains

A new body of work based on walks around Folsom Lake, where changing water levels reveal layered histories, submerged infrastructure, and traces of a vanished ecology.

Combining ink and wash, charcoal, colored pencil, photography, digital drawing, and 3D modeling, these hybrid landscapes explore how place reveals itself over time.
